    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Speaking of contract lists however, I do find it mildly irritating that the WA state contracts list has been released quite a while ago but none of the other states have put anything out yet

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    The wider CA contract list is not and has never been a clear indication of exactly what the selectors will do throughout the 12 month timeframe. Can think of plenty of players who have had contracts only to play very little if at all for Australia in the contract period, and vice versa with...

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Yeah this is the big news story out of this if indeed it is true (which is likely). I know as a CA contract holder he has pretty much free reign over where he wants to play his domestic cricket, but it does seem a little odd how this has worked out. Still damn good for South Australia, with Head...

    You have been pumping the guys tyres up all summer and then you come out with this, confusing tstl Pick a lane eh

    English Domestic Season 2026

    Not sure tweaks around the edges will make much difference with this whole injury sub situation, the entire concept needs to be fired into the surface of the sun imo

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh Back to ****ing back, what a team, what a state

    The rare double nightwatchman from Victoria here
  8. GoodAreasShane

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    195 the target, with the pitch only seeming to flatten out a bit relative to earlier in the match Not optimistic tstl

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Victoria still well on top unfortunately, but this has been quite some innings from Carey

    2025-26 New Zealand domestic season

    Absolute joke of a bowler. Have no idea how he's still a thing at this level
  11. GoodAreasShane

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Yeah the rule is absolute ****ing garbage, called it from the moment it was introduced Didn't really want to say anything initially in case I was accused of sour grapes (Vics were well ahead anyway so I'm not claiming it has cost the game or anything like that) but yeah the rule needs to go...

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    That wasn't very enjoyable

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Definitely doing a bit early doors
  14. GoodAreasShane

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Yeah on the CA website. Have to have an account, free but I'm not sure if it would be geoblocked or not

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Specialist sub fielder imo Seriously though, team will probably be unchanged. Some chance of of bringing Pope in over a quick (possibly Buckingham) but from what I've read this pitch will be greener than the last one so that is probably not super likely

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    On an unrelated note, read elsewhere that Sam Elliott is likely to have a stint as the overseas player for Middlesex next county season Definitely a good oppurtunity for development for him if nothing else

    Mundane sightings of high-profile cricketers

    Yeah I'm going to defend McGain here, yeah his one test was pretty much a disaster, but domestically he was probably one of the better spinners around in that post-Warne pre-Lyon revolving door era. Low bar I know, but he was genuinely a lot better than people who judge him solely on one game...
  18. GoodAreasShane

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Yeah fair, only had a cursory look back but yeah it has definitely been mentioned here. Absolute tumbleweeds from the wider cricketing media though, although that is not surprising considering their usual standards. Which brings me to the Green deal, yeah he could have absolutely dealt with...

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Honestly now you say it I think that is a really good point, something I haven't really heard talked about even though it probably should be. Definitely agree with you that the current points system does send the wrong message the way it is hence leading to the prevelance of greentops being...

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Was undeniably a real bowler friendly season, not saying there aren't genuine concerns about batting depth in this country (because there clearly are). But a lot of the more "the sky is falling in" type commentary simply doesn't take into account the reality of how difficult batting is on some...
